January’s Mojo Saturday Night will have a deep blue hue to it! Featuring local favorites Lisa Miller, Jack Roy and Kevin Chisnell, the Saturday, Jan. 19th show at The Gateway will look deep into blues traditions, history and most of all: music.

Dr. Jim Armstead noted professor of military strategy will present “Strategic Analyses of Civil War” at WTA’s Gateway on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. Dr. Armstead’s presentation will look at the whole of the war, the strategic plans on both sides and address why North won. The presentation has been given round the world to very favorable reviews and is famous for its comprehensive view of the conflict.

The Blues Buskers, Kat and Doug and J3 provide holiday music for blues lovers.

The Holiday Fashion Showcase returns to downtown Waynesboro on Saturday for a little bit of Christmas cheer to get you ready for the holiday season.

The Confederate general who fought and lost the Battle of Waynesboro will be the topic for Ted Hughes’ first-person presentation of Old Jube on Tuesday, November 20 at WTA’s Gateway. The program will begin at 7 pm and the doors to doors open at 6:30.

I guess we could call November the Radio Hour’s month of the woman. Chrystal McKee brings Angel Love to life in the third chapter of A. Love Diary along with Boomie Pedersen. And both are joined by Marsha Howard. And headlining the musical talent is Lorie Strother. What a list of female talent!

I am amazed that the Radio Hour just passed it sixth anniversary. The first performance was on the Third Friday of October in 2006. That must be some sort of record. The idea was born out of my desire to recreate the variety shows that I remember listen to when I was a kid.

At the start of the day on Saturday, Nov. 3, the seven 10-minute plays set to go on stage live at the WTA’s Gateway will be little more than words on paper.

Not quite blues, or folk, or jazz, Too Human takes the emotional content of these three genres and blends it into a unique style all its own.
